Meditation Retreats
“In Buddhism, we gain a type of experiential acquired knowledge that grows in our hearts through what we call ‘practice’. We use the word ‘practice’ in Buddhism much more that we use the word ‘belief’ We don’t say to each other: ‘ How’s your belief going?’ Instead, we ask, ‘How’s your practice going?’ It’s a different way of learning.”
The OBS will be offering the following retreats in 2026.
Note: For in-person residential retreats, financial assistance is offered through the Rhona Goodspeed retreat bursary. Please see Retreat Bursary for more details.
